§ 44 and 48. Mr. Swinglerasked the President of the Board of Trade (1) to what extent the proposed plans for a European Free Trade Area will affect the British film industry;
12W(2) to what extent, in the negotiations for a European Free Trade Area, consideration has been given to schemes of discriminatory taxation in favour of domestic film production.
§ Mr. ErrollI cannot anticipate at this stage of the negotiations how the Free Trade Area may affect the film industry, which presents special problems for most countries. Schemes for discriminatory taxation in favour of domestic film production would not, however, seem consistent with the general principles and objectives of the Free Trade Area.
